    ground beside St Patrick well.
    II
    I stole up by the singing stream up through the silent glade.
    Till I heard a soft mild murmur from the trellis bramble shade,
    And behold! a sight below me in my menory I enshine.
    For the scene that day before me,
    Shall always glad my mind
    There round a little holy well a priest and people kneel.
    While near, a foamy fountain out through the brambles steal,
    And above the fountain music soft voices swell.
    As "A Naomh Mhuire Mhathain De" floats round the holy well.
